Unified by the vision of winemaker Christophe Baron, the Cayuse Vineyards family of wines stands out for its boldness, both in flavor and label design. These wines are among the most collectible in the United States, not to mention the Pacific Northwest, thanks to a combination of scarce access and vibrant expression. Syrah is the most familiar variety in the lineup, but stands confidently alongside Grenache, Tempranillo, and Cabernet Sauvignon, all which marry intense fruit aromas atop a foundation of monolithic structure. A bonus in the lineup is the magnum-only Champagne label by Christophe, produced with fruit grown in the Meunier-dominated Marne Valley.
